“Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot” is inspired by the powerful true story of Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace some of the more difficult children to place within the child welfare system.

One person’s passion can lead to a vibrant foster care and adoptive ministry at their church and through collaboration.

As you consider the possibility of providing a loving home for children in need, there are many steps between learning about the need for foster families and becoming one yourself.

We’ve learned that it’s only when we all come together that we can begin to make a lasting difference around our city. These four stories are powerful illustrations of how collaboration leads to change!

If you allow yourself to believe misleading myths about what it means to support those who are in the foster care community, you may end up feeling intimidated and unsure of where to start.
